    The whole team were amazing and understanding at such a sad time. Their knowledge, patience, kind words and service provided throughout. Elaine and Marie did excellent in making sure our mum was looked after and we were supported with every question or query we had. Can't thank them enough for helping make this unhappy event process as easy as possible and helping to ensure my mum got the beautiful service she deserved.

  • 5 Arlene Muir 2nd Feb 2026

    Abercorn Funeral Directors were compassionate, professional and dignified during what is a highly emotional and difficult time. Elaine was caring, respectful and treated my Mum with dignity. I would highly recommend Abercorn Funeral Directors. 

  • 5 David Morham 8th Jan 2026

    They made the whole process so much easier for my family and I.
    They were extremely helpful and caring during a very sad time for us.

  • 5 Mary Aquino 6th Jan 2026

    Abercorn Funeral Services was the best funeral service we could have asked for. My husband and I had to do the impossible and organise a funeral for our infant child…and the service Abercorn provided was exactly what we were hoping for. They were kind, compassionate, and considerate, everything we needed for that impossible task. Elaine was so kind and wonderful, she made the organising of the funeral, the hardest thing we have ever done, easier to process and accomplish. She also made us feel like we mattered throughout the process too. Our funeral director on the day was also so kind and wonderful, she made the day flow the best she could, all while making space for our grief. We thank Abercorn for their services. We honestly couldn’t have picked a better funeral service.

  • 5 Sharon Overton 5th Jan 2026



    Abercorn Funeral Directors were absolutely wonderful during such a difficult time. Elaine took the time to clearly explain the whole process and kept us right from start to finish, which gave us real peace of mind. She was kind, compassionate, and incredibly professional throughout. Elaine also took the extra step of calling to check that the family were doing okay, which meant so much to us. We couldn’t have asked for better support  the undertakers on the day were fantastic and everything was so smooth on the day of the funeral they guided us and helped the family and did not rush them in any way  

  • 5 Shelagh Wood 30th Oct 2025

    Cannot recommend Abercorn Funeral Directors Musselburgh highly enough. My husband passed away a few weeks ago and at this highly distressing time Elaine guided me through everything I needed to do, she was kind, thoughtful and supportive which is just what I needed. I could call at anytime and she was always ready to answer any of my queries. Her colleagues at Piershill were equally fantastic. Don't think I could have got through this without there help.
